Maker of Man Was Made Man
Todd Augustine showed me this quote today from Augustine (how ironic, eh?). What glories are found in Christ!
“The Maker of man was made man…that bread might hunger; the spring (or fountain) might thirst; the light might sleep; the way might be weary in his journey; that the truth might be hidden by false witnesses; that the Judge of quick and dead might be judged by a mortal judge: justice might be condemned by the unjust; discipline might be scourged; the cluster of grapes might be crowned with thorns; the foundation might be hanged on a tree; that strength might be weakened; that health might be wounded; and that life itself might die”
Quoted from Richard Baxter, “On the Mischiefs of Self-Ignorance and the Benefits of Self-Acquaintance”
